Last two talks of the first day of #ASABWinter2024 by @fhillemann.bsky.social & @mikemwebster.bsky.social 🐦🐒 Nice to end the day learning about the grassroots initiative and repository SPI-Birds (@spibirds.bsky.social), and the importance of taking into account how STRANGE our study animals may be

2. How STRANGE are your study animals?
